Memories & Candles

Dear Doris and family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband an father. Now that I'm retired from Gleaner and do live in Ann Arbor, I receive the Daily Telegram, usually about 4-7 days late. Also, I was up-north at the hunting lodge when Willard passed away. Therefore, I was unable to attend the service. I have fond memorys of our neighbors in Palmyra, and your family was one of them. Hopefully everyone else is in good health and the Holidays bring you peace and happiness. Ells
